Well, maybe either they know the person, want to gather information and use it somehow, media attention and share it online & want to involve themselves somehow. - Melody Latham

I think the “same people” appear isn’t like the exact same people but because the pattern repeats of people rushing to the chaos. - Bella

Nowadays, people record on their phones or try to help but it can be more damaging They often stare heavily too, and stare but it really takes someone to act or tell someone to do something, and the crowd would do along with it

the same people appear because its a cycle of a crash happening and then a crowd gathering around them- julie

I feel like when it comes to crowds, they are everywhere when something occurs. I don't think there's a way to determine if a crowd is evil, but I would say symbolic, I do wonder when it comes to accidents to people, do all they mostly remember is the crowd? Repeated accidents to that one person, is the crowd all the remembrance?

the crowd represents death in a way they decide which people get to survive and which ones are going to die - julie

I would say they show minimum effort they stare instead helping.

# data[].attributes.body

holocaust when only some people stood up to hitler and many other countries stayed neutral and didn't help.

I think the crowd is symbolic of something larger, like they almost have a hand if the person can live or die because they have the power of doing something wrong and being like we didn’t know it would hurt them.-Bella

Like I said previously, now when tying to the historical events, the crowd would follow people in the crowd, if people stare, people stared, if they agreed to pick up this hurt person, they would too. So, whatever time period it is, depending on that crowd, people would try to intervene the best way they could.

i would say the crowd is symbolic because it always seems to be the same exact crowd and the same exact scenario that happens when the crowd shows up-julie

i think the same people appear at every accident cause they are stuck in some loop and that loop might have some meaning

# data[].attributes.body
the crowd represents if someone is going to die from the accident

# data[].attributes.body
i would think the crowd is symbolic of something larger and that there is more meaning because they show up every single time and are always talking about the same thing

The story implies that the same group of people appear at every accident because they are a mysterious, organized, and perhaps supernatural "group" whose purpose is to preside over and influence death at these events, ensuring "the right ones live and the right ones die."

The crowd represents a sinister, almost predatory, force that secretly manipulates the outcome of accidents, acting as unacknowledged arbiters of life and death, hidden within the guise of ordinary bystanders.

# data[].attributes.body
The crowd is depicted as evil, given their active role in ensuring death through their "help" and their consistent appearance at fatal accidents; they are symbolic of a dark, hidden order that controls a fundamental aspect of human existence.

While the story's supernatural elements diverge from reality, it reflects real-life bystander behavior in the immediate and often overwhelming gathering of people at accident scenes, and the common, though often ill-informed, impulse to "help" without proper training.

The idea of a silent or complicit crowd, as depicted in "The Crowd," connects to historical events by reflecting instances where large groups of people were aware of injustices, atrocities, or harmful acts but remained silent or failed to intervene, effectively becoming complicit through their inaction or tacit approval. This can be seen in various contexts, such as the bystanders during the Holocaust, the general public's knowledge of certain civil rights abuses before widespread action, or the "code of silence" observed in some communities or organizations that allows harmful practices to persist.
